Nokia cellphone radiation hoax

This is a hoax.

If you're planning to buy one of Nokia's new cellphone models like the 3310 or the 6210, think again. A few weeks ago, 12 people from Finland and 7 people from China have died from strange circumstances. But one thing common among all the fatalities was the fact that they all recently purchased Nokia's new 3310s and 6210s.

The medical team that examined the bodies reported that there is a big possibility that the death of these people was caused by exposure to extreme levels of radiation that can only come from these two cellphone models. But why only the 3310 and the 6210? One obvious similarity between the two is that both models don't have antennas because they are built-in internally.

This new innovation in cellphone technology may seem better to others because the unit appears less bulky and better-looking, but in reality, it is much harmful because, instead of transmitting signals through an external antenna towards one direction only, the signals are scattered and spread towards all directions; thus, spreading more radiation not just to the cellphone user but to those around him as well.

The new and more advanced features of the two models require stronger signals from the telecom companies, therefore, increasing radiation levels and creating a higher risk of contracting radiation-related problems, including brain-cell deterioration.

What makes the 3310 a deadly communications device is its infamous SMS multiple-send feature. The fact that it can send SMS messages to a certain number of recipients at the same time proves that it requires more signal strength; thus, giving off more radiation. In fact, it releases radiation 10x stronger than a regular cellphone call. On the other hand, the 6210's WAP capabilities just makes things worse because more radiation is created and spread to all directions due to the absence of an external antenna to regulate and properly direct the inflow and outflow of signals from the telecom company. The 7110 had an external antenna to serve this particular function. But due to Nokia's cost-cutting measures to increase sales, lessen expenditures and to answer to the growing demand of people for a slimmer and better looking WAP-capable phone, it did away with the external antenna and came up with the 6210.

A source from Nokia disclosed that in order to keep up with an increasing demand for more features in their cellphone models, the company had to disregard certain health and safety standards. How Nokia did this is not surprising. Due to Nokia's popularity as a worldwide leader in cellphone manufacturing, it was able to use its influence in the world cellphone market to get away with it. The source from Nokia even claimed that his boss, when asked in a press conference about the company's failure to meet health and safety standards said, "Who cares? The people want more advanced features and better designs so that's what we will give them. It is upon their discretion if they want to purchase these new models or not. We are just here to give the customers what they want and make them happy."

Yeah right. Talk about happiness when 19 people are already dead. Send this to all your friends and let us spread the word that Nokia is an unethical company that doesn't care about the health or safety of its customers whatsoever. We must not let Nokia get away with this. So many people have died and so many people have already been tricked.

Let us stop this indecency right now. Spread the word and help innocent lives from being tricked.
